Bigfoot have developed a program that will relieve you of heel pain. We have reduced pain in 80-90% of our clients in 12 weeks.
The most common cause is a strain of a band along the bottom of the arch designed to support the foot when walking/running. Pain frequently develops on rising in the morning or after sitting for long periods. This usually reduces after 5-10 minutes of walking only to return later in the day. Described as a “bone bruise” the pain makes everyday walking painful and affects exercise. Heel pain in children can be growth related.
Causes include
- Flat feet
- High arches
- Unsupportive and poorly cushioned footwear
- Tight calves and plantar fascia
- Obesity
